NEAT leaders: TransCanada dupes landowners about eminent domain
“New concerns over the Keystone XL oil pipeline are prompting leaders of the Nebraska Easement Action Team, or NEAT, to send a letter to President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry and the Unicameral.
The letter expresses worry over TransCanada’s behavior and tactics in pursuing the proposed pipeline.
NEAT president Tom Genung, of Hastings, claims landowners are being misinformed about land seizures.
“Some of the land agents for TransCanada led landowners to believe that if they didn’t sign the initial proposal or the initial easement contracts that eminent domain would be implemented and that basically there would be no compensation,” Genung says, “which is not true at all.””
